OLD WIFE, SWEET WIFE.

IT'S many and many a year, old wife,
Since you and 1 wrote valentines,
And yet to send thee one to-day
My heart, grown young again, inclinss.
Old wife, sweet wife, as dear to me
As when our May days first began,
And you were but slender girl
And a brave young gentleman.
What though the rose hath faded now
That in your cheek blushed fresh and fair
What though old Time hath waved his wand
And turned to white your raven haire
What though the footsteps once SO fleet
Are now but tottering and slow?
Sweet wife, thou'rt still the same to me
AS in those days of long ago.
chose thee In thy blooming youth
To be my own, MY love, my II e;
And now. though years have o'er thee rolled,
ind none matches with my wife.
Our gills and boys since then have trod
The olden love-paih ever new,
And in their simple hearts have thought
Only their own experience true.
And so the golden crown descends-
Ger each in turn its halo shines,
And We in memory wander back,
And dream OF youth and valentines.

Now, since these bondholders have seorn-
fully refused this compromise, have heaped
indignity and approbrium upon the honor
ofthe Comm monwealth and its sovereignty,
there is but one course open before US, or at
least but one that is consistent with the
dignity of the State, and that is to reject
all new propositions coming from the bond
holders, their agents or apelegists, and to
give them to understand that no other than
the one now open for their acceptance will
ever be made or considered by the State;
that they must take that or fare worse. 1t
is unfortunate for all parties that the ex-
pres sed opinions of individuals suggesting
other and different modes Of settling this
question have misled the holders Of our
bonds and caused them to think that our
ranks are divided, that we are not agreed in
cur councils, and that there is yet hope Of
bringing the people to propose or accept
more liberal settlement than the Riddle
berger bill. If we know anything of the
temper of the people of Virginia, and we
think we do, better offer has been made to
the creditors Of the State than will ever be
made again. .-Lynchburg Adpance.

FRANK HURD ON THE TiRIFF.-TREN-
TON, N. j.. Jan. 27.-Ex- Congressman
Frank Hurd tonight, in the House of
Assembly, addressed the State board Of
agriculture on the question of tariff for rev.
enue only, and its effect on the interests Of
farmers. he said protection is never in
voked for the benefit of the farmer. His
business needs no protection. The tariff
hurts the farmer in the exchange of COM
modities; as be exchanges one Thousand
bushels of wheat for one thousand yards of
cloth in Liverpool, the duty of fifty per
cent. on cloth in America causes loss to
him of one-half the value of the cloth. The
tariff increases the cost of the farmers liv-
ing. The duties average 45 per cent. on
the various necessities. The farmers with
out tariff would annually save $3.50. 000,-
600. Mr.. Hurd spoke of the home market
for the farmer, saying: "This is fallacy.
The manufacturer can barely support him.
self at times. The manufacturer is not
benefited as much as he thinks he is by the
tariff. What protection gives to one hand
it takes away from the other"

A FATAL MISTAKE.

The C1evelano (Ohio) Press,
of February 23d, 1883, pub
hshed an account of a fatal
surgical operation which caused
a great commotlon among med
ical men throughout the whole
country, DR.. Thayer, the most
eminent surgeon in Cleveland,
pronouncing it scandalous. It
appears that a Mrs. King had
been suffering for many years
from some disease of the stom-
ach, which had resisted the
treatment of all the physicians
in attendance. The disease
commenced with a slight de-
rangement Of the digestion,
with a poor appetite, followed
by a peculiar indescribable dis
tress in the stomach, feeling
that has been described as a
faint "all gone' sensation, a
sticky slime collecting about
the teeth, causing a disagree
able taste. This sensation was
not removed by food, but, on
the contrary, it was increased.
After while the hands and
feet became cold and sticky
a cold perspiration. There
was a constant tired and Ian
guild feeling. Then followed a
dreadful nervousness, with
gloomy forebodings. Finally
the patient was unable to re-
tain any food whatever, and
there was constant pain III the
abdomen. All prescribed rem
edies failing to give relief, a
consultation was held, when it
was decided that the patient
had a cancer in the stomach,
and in order tosave the patients
life an operation was justifi-
able. Accordingly, on the 22d
Of February, 1883, the opera
ton was performed by DR..
Vance in the presence Of DR..
Tuckerman, DR.. Perlier, DR..
Arms, DIR. Gordon, Dr.. Capner,
and DR.. Halliwell OF the Police
Board. The operation consist
ed in laying open the cavity
of the abdomen and exposing
the stomach and bowels. When
this had been done an examin-
alton Of the organs was made,
but to the horror and dismay
of the doctors there was no
cancer 10 be found. The pa
tient did not have a cancer.
When too late the medical men
discovered that they bad made
a terrible mistake; but they
sewed the parts together and
dressed the wound that they
had made, but the poor woman
sank from exhaustion and died
in a few hours. How sad it
must be for the husband of this
poor woman to know that his
wife died from the effects of a
surgical operation that ought
never to have been performed
If this woman had taken the
proper remedy for Dyspepsia
and Nervous Prostration flor
this was what the disease really
was}, she would have been liv-
ing to-day. SHAKE: EXTRACT OF
RooTs, or SEIGEL's CURATIVE
SYRUP, a remedy made ex-
pressly for Dyspepsia or Indi-
gestion, has restored many such
cases to perfect health after all
other kinds Of treatment have
failed. The evidence of it's
efficacy in curing this class of
cases is too volnminous to be
published here; but those who
read the published evidence in
favor Of this dyspeptic remedy
do not question its convincing
nature, and the article has an
extensive sale.

One Of the brayest as well as the most
notable river men who ever navigatcd the
Ohio is Capt. David NJ. DRYDEN, who now
lives in Ballard county, Ky. Capt. Dry
den is 20 years Of age, and spent 60 years
of his life on the river. In 1886 he was
pilot on the Swiltsure, mail line packet
plying between Louisville aud Cincin-
natl. The Paul Jones also ran in the same
trade, and a great rlValry existed between
the two boats.
One cold day in January, 1886, both
boats pulled out OF the Louisville harUOr

craft should be the first TO land at CIncin-
natl. Pine knots, coal oil, bacon and
everything that would make q blaze were
thrown into the furnaces, and the en-
gIueers received orders to turn ner wide
open. For some time they were exactly
side by side, and although both engines
were doing their utmost, neither had the
advantage. Tine Captains and crews were
greatly excited, aud the boats quIvered
under the immense steam pressure.
Finally the SwIttsure began slowly to
forge ahead OF its rival.

solved that II he could not distance the

and shouted TO him to keep of, but he did
not heed the signals, aud in q few mo-
ments the sharp iron-c0Vered bows OF the
Jones were nearly against the Swiitsure.
Capt. Dryden realized at once that unless
something was done his boat would be
sunk aud his passengers drowned.
